I am missing lots of teeth, can I still get a dental bridge?

Q.
I was wondering if it is possible to get dental bridges for my top teeth…I only have the front six which means I need both sides in the back..but whenever I look at bridge work it always shows a tooth or teeth missing with some real ones on both sides to attatch to..and I only have the front 6( which are really nice teeth) is a Dental bridge possible
A.
Unfortunately not except for a small tooth to be added just behind the remaining teeth . A better solution might be to crown the last of the teeth either side and have a precision retained denture that will lock into them – a removable prosthesis but very stable when weated

I would suggest you go see your nearest Dentist for a consultation and than they would be ale to discuss the variety of options with you.
